This week on ‘Ask The Doc!’ Dr. William Whaley is discussing weight and diabetes management, and how to control these conditions as well as treat them to prevent a stroke. Here are some questions we asked Dr. Whaley today:

1. Will a person with Type 2 diabetes under control end up with the need for insulin?

2. Is there a genetic factor to strokes?

3. What exactly is a spine block injection? Will it work long-term for low back pain due to disc problems?
